When Is Medicaid Vision Coverage Required?
Medicaid vision coverage is not required by law, but there are a few situations in which Medicaid will always cover the cost of glasses. Medicaid will cover glasses for children and young adults (under 21), as well as glasses for adults if they are deemed medically necessary.[2]
